House Hunting With Danny Bonaduce: KZOK 102.5 Welcomes the Bonaduces to Seattle

I had the opportunity to spend some time with Seattle’s newest radio celebrity and his wife this week. Amy and Danny Bonaduce have relocated from Philadelphia to do a morning show on KZOK‘s classic rock radi0 102.5.

While most clients would prefer anonymity in their home search, Danny is the opposite. We had Doug Cooper of CBS Radio with us, filming our outing for publicity. As Danny put it to me, “I didn’t work this hard for this long to have people not notice me. You can paint my face on the side of the building for all I care.” After spending a few days with the Bonaduces, it’s clear that this isn’t just a soundbite for Danny. Every fan wanting a handshake, every service person wanting a picture, and even the guy in the Escalade yelling “Danny Partridge!” as he drove through an intersection got recognition, a smile, or a wave. “These guys pay my salary,” he says, and it’s clear that he believes it. I don’t think I’ve ever been thanked as often by a client as I have by the Bonaduces.

With Seattle’s reputation for being somewhat uninterested in celebrity, it was entertaining to see the reactions of different folks around town as we toured the neighborhoods around downtown. There were a lot of long stares, and “I think I know you from somewhere” introductions. Many more people walked right up and said hello than I had expected. Danny is a walking radio show. The persona doesn’t turn off when he’s off air. We might as well have been broadcasting while he was in the car, telling one story after another about his days in Hollywood.

Danny’s already experienced riding a bicycle built for two across the Aurora Bridge. Lost. Without a helmet. By himself. Clearly he’s going to have a good time in Seattle. Looking at view properties in Magnolia, Queen Anne, Leschi, and downtown, the sweeping water, city, and mountain views have clearly locked the new residents into finding a view home so that they can enjoy their new home city. Who can blame them?

You can meet Danny at his first big public gig today in Kent for the Seahawks game. They’ll be hosting an event at H.D. Hotspurs starting at 9:30 am for the early game vs. the Dallas Cowboys (don’t forget to set your clocks back 1 hour).
